KUNG PAO SHRIMP

Steps:

• In a small dry skillet, toast the dry chiles until they have deepened in color and have begun to release a toasty aroma, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
• Heat a large saute pan over high heat for about 1 minute. When you see the first wisps of white smoke, swirl in the vegetable oil, cashews, garlic, and toasted chiles. Stir and scrape the pan until the garlic is light brown, about 30 seconds.
• Toss the shrimp into the pan, stirring constantly, until the shrimp just starts to turn pink and everything starts to smell amazing, about 1 more minute. Add the bell pepper and onions, and cook, stirring, until the onion starts to turn translucent, about 1 minute.
• Add the oyster sauce and sambal. Stir the cornstarch into the chicken stock to make a slurry, then add it to the pan. Stir well, scraping the brown bits from the bottom of the pan to deglaze and incorporate them into the sauce. Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary. When the shrimp have just turned pink and opaque, meaning the shrimp are cooked through, turn off the heat. Sprinkle in the scallions, add the sesame oil and a pinch of white pepper. Stir everything in the pan to coat all the ingredients.
• Serve immediately with steamed rice.

KUNG PAO SCALLOPS

Steps:

• For the sauce: In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, chili sauce, vinegar, and sugar. In a separate small bowl, mix together the water and the cornstarch; set aside.
• In a wok, turn the heat onto high and add the oil, when the wok is smoking hot, add the dried chili pods to toast (they are done when they turn dark).
• Add the garlic and onion, stir for 3 seconds, then add the scallops (note: make sure the scallops have been thawed and thoroughly drained in a colander before adding them to the wok).
• Add the kung pao sauce and the cornstarch mixture and stir in the wok until the scallops are cooked through.

KUNG PAO BEEF

• Place peanut/corn oil in a wok, swirling to coat the sides, and place over high heat. Add the chilies and cook until they begin to darken. Add the garlic, ginger and Szechwan pepper; continue to cook to infuse the oil. Add the scallions and bell pepper. Remove the steak from the marinade and add it to the wok. Stir-fry the beef for 3 minutes until brown. Blend in soy sauce, rice wine, Chinese vinegar, sugar and chicken broth. Dissolve the cornstarch slurry and add it to the sauce, stirring, to thicken. Sprinkle in the peanuts and stir to coat. Serve over rice.

• Heat half of the vegetable oil in a wok over high heat. Stir in the chicken and shrimp, and cook until the chicken has turned white on the outside and is still a bit pink in the center; about 5 minutes. Remove the chicken and wipe the wok clean.
• Heat the remaining vegetable oil over high heat. Stir in the garlic, and cook for a few seconds until the garlic begins to turn brown. Stir in the dried chiles and Szechwan peppercorns; cook and stir a few seconds until the peppers begin to darken. Add the red and green bell peppers, dark soy sauce, 2 tablespoons of rice wine, and 2 tablespoons of sugar. Bring to a boil, stir in the chicken, and cook until the peppers are nearly tender, and the chicken is no longer pink in the center, about 5 minutes more. Stir in the peanuts and green onion until the green onion becomes limp. Stir in a few drops of sesame oil to serve.

CALIFORNIA PIZZA KITCHENS KUNG PAO SPAGHETTI

Steps:

• To Make the Kung Pao Sauce:.
• In a medium saucepan, whisk together the chicken stock and cornstarch until the cornstarch is fully dissolved. Stir in all the remaining sauce ingredients and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat and simmer until the sauce is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, 15 to 20 minutes. Set aside.
• To Make Egg White-Cornstarch Mixture:
• In a mixing bowl, use a whisk to stir together the egg whites, cornstarch, and salt until thoroughly blended; be careful not to beat them into a froth. Set aside.
• To Prepare the Pasta:.
• Bring a large pot of salted water to a rapid boil. Add the pasta and cook until al dente, 8 to 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in a large nonstick frying pan over high heat, heat the olive oil for about 1 minute. Add the chicken pieces to the Egg White-Cornstarch Mixture and toss to coat them. Taking care to avoid splattering, add the coated chicken to the pan and cook like a solid pancake until the egg mixture sets; then, using a large spatula, carefully flip the chicken pieces over together and, with a wooden spoon, gently separate the pieces.
• Gently stir the Chinese peppers and roasted peanuts into the pan. As soon as they darken in color, after no more than 1 minute, stir in the garlic and scallions. Once the garlic begins to brown, after no more than 30 seconds, add the Kung Pao Sauce and toss and stir to coat the ingredients.
• When the pasta is ready, drain it well and, in a large mixing or serving bowl, toss it thoroughly with the sauce. Serve family-style or transfer to individual serving bowls, arranging the chicken, vegetables, and peppers.

KUNG PAO SCALLOPS RECIPE

Steps:

• Cot the scallops in half horizontally. Combine them with the marinade ingredients in a medium bowl and stir to coat. Set aside for 30 minutes. Combine the sauce ingredients in another bowl. Cut the bell pepper and onion into 1-inch squares. Cut the celery diagonally into 1/2-inch slices. Cut the bamboo shoots into 1-inch cubes. Place a wok or wide frying pan over high heat until hot. Add 2 tablespoons of the vegetable oil, swirling to coat the sides. Add the scallops and stir-fry until opaque, about 2 minutes. Remove the scallops to a bowl. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil to the wok. Add the ginger, garlic, whole red peppers, and crushed red pepper. Slightly pressing the peppers into the oil with the back of a spatula, cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 10 seconds. Add the bell pepper, onion, celery, and bamboo shoots and stir-fry for 30 seconds. Tipping the bowl of scallops slightly, pour the accumulated juices into the wok and add the sauce. Cover and cook for 1 minute. Return the scallops to the wok. Add the cornstarch solution and cook, stirring, until sauce boils and thickens. This recipe yields 4 servings. Variation: You can cook just about any meat, poultry, or seafood 'kung pao' style. The sauce can also be made ahead of time; simply omit the scallops and the diced vegetables from the above recipe. Keep the sauce on hand in a jar in the refrigerator, and when you're to use it, stir-fry your choice of meat and vegetables and stir in the sauce.
